You are so sly. Why do you bother even posting when you must spin the truth? Why not make sure you know the truth first? And most of the time you just post theories you have put together in your mind using your deductive logic, but they have no quantitative support.

I never said anything about "central planning". I said planning. I am a planner. I know how planning has to sometimes going from the bottom up and sometimes from the top down and how all levels of planning interact to effect a healthy social system. Take a look at a stare organizational chart or Read Max Weber if you want a real pro.

You look for hooks like ("central planning" is not compatible with capitalism), which was setting up a false dichotomy No one ever said a word about that relative conclusion. Besides it isn't even true----IN A DEMOCRACY.

In a democracy the people decide what kind of society they want to live in; and the planning aspect can be organized like the people want. And there are a zillion different types of planning in democracies and elsewhere.

And the Scandinavians understand cold the necessity of planning!
